The leave form's on the table under the mug, and twelve weeks in September is my name at the top unless you say otherwise. Honestly — say the real thing. Am I taking this, or are we?

The question of who takes the leave
Oldest line first — the newest line is at the bottom.

Twelve weeks in September and you've already put your name on the top line — so yes, we, but I want the second line for a reason. Say the number out loud, because "we" is a lovely word and the money doesn't hear it.

Eleven-forty a week is what we lose if I stop invoicing for twelve weeks, and I've only got two invoices, $820 and $460, both unpaid. That's the number, that's the lot — write it down before I get brave and pretend it's smaller.

Eleven-forty a week for twelve weeks is $13,680, and I'd rather be scared by the real figure than soothed by a small one. Hand me the pen — we tell Chloe at eleven on Saturday, and if she screams the whole street hears it.
